- Sydney Sweeney lands the lead role in the live-action movie adaptation of the Split Fiction game.
- Jon M. Chu, the director of Wicked, will be directing this upcoming movie.
- Furthermore, Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, the screenwriters of Deadpool & Wolverine, are penning the script for the Split Fiction movie.
Split Fiction, the latest co-op game from Hazelight Studios, was released in March 2025 and quickly became a headline as one of the biggest contenders for ‘Game of the Year’. Soon after the game’s release, new reports from the Game Developers Conference (GDC) suggested that a live-action movie adaptation of Split Fiction is in the works. Since then, we have been dying to meet the cast and crew of this most anticipated live-action movie. We don’t have to wait anymore, as new details about the ensemble and production staff behind the Split Fiction movie have emerged.
Starting off with a major cast update, Sydney Sweeney, star of Euphoria and The White Lotus, will join the cast of the live-action Split Fiction movie first, according to Variety . However, it has not been determined yet whether Sydney will take on the role of Mio or Zoe. As someone who has played the game (review ) and is a big fan of Sydney, I believe Zoe’s role would suit her best.

In addition, there are some exciting updates about the production crew as well. Jon M. Chu, the director of Wicked, the Oscar-winning movie, is set to direct the live-action adaptation. The screenwriters behind Deadpool & Wolverine, Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, will handle the screenplay. Chu’s Electric Somewhere company and Story Kitchen are producing the movie, with Sweeney also joining as an executive producer.
